Hi Adam, thanks for the great content!... I had an idea: it would be cool if you could share some pics or video of your work in the wild after folks get their parts installed. You could have a segment of: hey remember that thing I did a few months back, here it is in action... I would dig that and I imagine many other folks would too! Again, thanks for what you do. Cheers, Morgan

My Dad always said, it doesn't matter what the tolerance is. Make it the absolute best that you can make it, not just because it makes your customer happy, but because it makes you happy and proud of your work.

Delrin is lovely stuff to machine. I was amazed with the surface finish I could get from even the dullest carbide insert. Pretty much perfect! Sadly the same cannot be said for my metalworking generally but live and learn. I always pick up a useful tip from watching your vids. Thanks for sharing.

And its properties are wonderful - it's my favorite engineering resin - it's basically nylon on steroids. As for machining properties alone - See Also acrylic (use slightly soapy water for cutting fluid and SHARP tooling) - you can actually get near-optical results with plain COTS tools! railgap.blogspot.com/2021/05/machining-acrylic.html

Love the fold away stop on your saw. I've been racking my brain thinking about spring loaded gizmos or some how hinging something. But that stop is elegant simplicity. and adjustable to different sizes of stock. Thanks for sharing Adam

at last a you tube video of someone who knows what he is doing as a retired toolmaker i cringe at some of the things i see. well done 👌

This comment has nothing to do with this KZread. It has to do with the work you did for Rucker on his Stoker Engine. I followed that you did an extraordinary amount of work trying to help Keith R.

Good work Adam, Remember, it's not what you make. It's how you make it.

Adam, could you add the speeds, feeds and depth of cut when you are machining. It would help all us amateurs out. Enjoyed watching, Thanks.

I can imagine it's nice to have a dimensionality low pressure job like those spacers as a palette cleanser between more demanding work

LOVE milling or turning Delrin. It always machines so beautifully and it still amazes me just how strong it is. It takes plastic to another level.

Congratulations Abom79 on a very well produced machining video.

Nice work on the editing adam good to see you trying new ideas to be a machinist and a videographer and editor lol cant be easy. A+

Thank you for sharing. Watched and very much enjoyed.

Face mill gave a perfect finish. Squaring them reminded me a form tool I was to make from supplied ground blanks (HSS) . They were 3 degrees out of square. I had to grind two sides square before I could even start because they wouldn't fit right in my vice . As you may have guessed they were made in China.

Those are riser blocks to raise the bed floor on the C10 when you lower the body... I have a couple of those trucks...

The nylon looks like perfectly machined, pure carbon block. Interesting stuff!

Well darn, you finally made something I could. I would have made the spacer blocks on my table saw and drill press. BUT I would have needed two lengths of stock cause one would have been goofed on. Great video's!

Good to see some small production runs/repeat work, nice mill stops there👍

Thanks for helping you're fans. Great show

Little bit of super glue will keep them align till you clamp. Simple little trick.

Nice work on the high speed footage Adam

Another good one. I like it when you’re doing simple operations, just do it, no need to talk when it’s not necessary.

Them blocks are the squarest thing on this planet

Those OSG helical taps are the best. I have a boat load of them and they are really great for tapping just about any material as they remove the chips out the back.

Be great to see photos with the parts fitted in applications of the stuff you do mate.

Hi Adam, how about an SNS where you talk about how you clamp pieces both on a fixture and direct to table and how the angle of clamps is determined. Thanks for the great videos.

done with a blindfold and one hand tied behind his back...your experience makes it look so easy.

Would be interested in how that plastic holds up under the weight of the bed.

I want that band saw ha. If you could see the state of the one I use at work, twists and turns all over the place, but to be fair it still makes big bits of metal into smaller bits of metal.

Spacer block guy: "The dimensions aren't critical" Abom79: "Fabricate to within ±0.002".

I miss Stella; I hope to see a new pup in your future.

With that stop method you are guaranteeing the amount of material removed is the same but the overall material length may be different for each piece.

It's likely that all he was doing on the mill was a saw-cut cleanup pass of a few thousandths. My main point was that you felt a need to judge his process, when he in fact knew and did exactly what he wanted.

I’ve been wondering if you machinists ever run the cutting tool into the chuck very often. Seems like it would be very easy to do.

@k4kfh

IMO, much easier to bump into the vise or a fixture on the mill than to bump into the chuck on the lathe. Especially drilling, it's all too easy to just kiss the side of a parallel or something on the mill.

I’m wondering if that spring loaded centre would be a good beginner machining job. Seems pretty easy to make.

Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching your videos videos I am from South Africa

I think it was you who said to cut the waste length only after the first tapping *op.* In case your tap tool breaks, then you have material to remake *that* end. Basically, you cut your chances of complete loss by 50%. Just sayin'.

Nice video Adam, I like that you sped it up through the repetitive bits. Reminds me of Jimmy. Hopefully if the dude with the shaft and gussets is welding to that shaft he knows it’s 4130 and how to do that properly. If he’s building bike frames I’m sure he has that figured out.
